AJ, what road is Suicide Grade off of? Is it Mill Creek? dvwalker and I rode from his property in Mosier ...made it to NF 17 at Brooks Meadow Rd; then made our way NE to Skyline Rd to the Dalles, for gas and food. We took Chenoweth back to Mosier ... but were wondering where Suicide Grade was.

..........Did you guys get any snow in your 'hood? I hope your healing is going well.

The hills around us were white yesterday morning,
but we just got rain at 1400ft.

Has he painted his orange yet?

I've been off mine since the first week.
I'm pretty sure my new shoulder muscle soreness was caused by those pogo stick crutches.

Suicide is off of Mil Creek, 1/8 mile past the end of it's pavement.
Sounds like you and DV rode Ketchum & John's Mill Rd, on your way over to 17?
....if so, you were looking down into the Mill Creek valley for 15 miles or so.

Heal up soon brother...

hope the rehabilitation is going well with the nursing staff

Rehab is certainly going quite well.
I predict a quick full recovery.
The nursing staff was nice, but not that nice....

Here's Jeff's photo from the day the stitches came out. I wanted to post up a pic of the "original," but Jeff wouldn't let me. The knee looks waaaaay better now. Bike still hasn't been touched, other than everything he took apart to figure out all the parts that he needed. Took a ride by myself a couple of weeks ago up past Red Menace's place, but nothing since. Rain, cold, bleh! Fair weather rider here!

How many drywall screws did you get with yours?? I ve got the same scar care of KTM. Get back on the horse. The rest of the body has more aches than the knee. BS

No screws
It didn t get into anything that needed to be screwed back together. I walk with no limp, and was without crutches after the first week or so. It's just sore, severed muscle, and a bunch of dead-end nerves. Nothing close to you twos' injuries, I feel pretty fortunate.

I'd be back on the bike now, if it wasn't still apart in the Garage. Parts are ordered, and someday I'll find time to put it back together....
